Regrets? I have a few.
Watched Fax as a boy and then as a man.
My employment moved me from Halifax in 1974, never saw a game until 1987, no, not a glory hunter, just turned the television on that Saturday afternoon, by chance it was Fax's quarter final, went to Leeds with my sons Halifaxsteve and Halifaxpaul and went to Wembley with them.
Since then despite living away from Halifax for 23 years we hardly missed a game. Came home in 1998.
My regret? 13 lost years, never saw Jimmy Birts play, never even knew who he was, but? if he played for Fax or indeed if he played Rugby League, he must have been an ok bloke.
RIP, Jimmy Birts.
